Begara

The Scholar's City. Begara, when it was still part of the Esturian empirte, had a truce with Azaria and thus survived the war in the Age of Darkness mostly untouched. Empress Helena of Esturia helped to found it as she wanted the seat of knowledge to be far away from the capital in case of invasion which would destroy its archives.
After Azaria took over, little changed and it remains the pinnacle of modern knowledge and thoguht.
When magic returned, the Magician Senate took over, and annointed Begara as the new capital. Their headquarters and the Magician University are based here,
Their Guardsmen wear indigo and orange.
